Awesome video that is a beast machine, do you know if there's a big difference between the AFNE9BSP and the AFNE9RSP? And how is it holding up? Im tired of my other washers dying in a few years.
I'm considering going back to a front loader, but concerned about the door latch. My last front loader's latch broke twice, and I had an awful mess to clean up. I switched to a top loader, but not happy about all the water usage. Can you tell me if Speed Queen used metal on the both the door and it's female counterpart in the washer? Thanks!
Bobbi, the door latch is hard plastic--looks to be high quality. After all these are designed to be in rugged laundromat environments. It also looks that if those latches need to be replaced, a few screws is all that you need to use to replace them. The door hinge is full length "piano hinge" - you will never see that on a washer at your local depot store.
Thank you for the quick reply. I will have to stop by my local laundromat and check out the latch on the SQ. I really wish they'd just use metal. How expensive can it be to use metal latches?
randomrazr I had a a Frigidaire for about 10 years, then a Samsung VRT. Neither cleaned well: small capacity and no on board heater. Just picked up an LG Pure Steam and Sidekick pedestal washers to replace my wringer and Kenmore 90 series.
Thank you for uploading this. Am I right that the water coming down the front is front the extraction. Appears the water drains down the front before being pumped out? Sincerily, Dan.
+ARKSpunky1 Yes. Extraction. I"ve only seen this in "water hungry" things like towels. They hold an excessive amount. Apparently SQ thought about this as there is a slit between the boot and drum to allow that. If I had been using Persil (high suds), it would have been very noticeable. Pumps from the bottom, there is a return hold in the boot under the glass portion to allow the water around the glass to drain.
Is it big enough for a king size comforter? Also do you use liquid detergent or powdered detergent? I saw that in the eco cycle you're not supposed to use liquid detergent...
It can easily do a "thin" King comforter, but if you have a thick or down comforter, I would not put it in there. I use both powder and liquid. I rarely use the Eco mode.
